[Bug 365881] Re: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk
I'm not 100% sure, but I think pyrun.exe is some sort of python language interpreter. Wubi is written in Python. I could be wrong, though. You're the first person in this thread who has had AV problems with pyrun.exe. The rest of us were trying to get pyrun.exe to stop giving us a no disk in drive error every time it encountered a card reader slot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 Title: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 365881] Re: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk
I did a test that seems to confirm Ray's point in #66 -- that is, that it if the application calls SetErrorMode(1) the pop-up will be off for the whole application including for any threads started by the application. ** Attachment added: threadTest.py http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51459657/threadTest.py -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 365881] Re: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk
Ray,
I don't know windows api either. I found SetErrorMode after literally
hours and hours of googling. Also, it needs to be clear...I have no
experience in Python at all...except to try to figure out the Wubi code.
Also, you raise a good point, I seem to recall getting this error during
installation, too. So, turning the message off just during Drive
instantiation is probably not going to prevent all cases of this
message.
In that case, I guess the script is calling methods on Drive objects
somewhere else? So the SetErrorMode should be incorporated directly in
the Drive methods causing the problem (get_space and get_filesystem).
However, then there is the glob.glob(path) issue that Ray Folwell found,
and I see some calls to os.path.exists() in the code, too. I have
confirmed taht os.path.exists() can raise the error IF it is called on
an empty drive (I cannot tell if wubi code ever calls os.path.exists()
on empty drives, though...but the potential seems to be there).
I recommend something else, in this case
Somewhere in the Wubi code, there needs to be a function like so
def perform_disk_operation(disk_operation, *args):
ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetErrorMode(1) # turn off no disk error
retval = disk_operation(*args)
ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetErrorMode(0) # restore no disk error to
default mode
return retval
Calls to the above function would actually pass in the desired function
and arguments for that functions. For example...
def get_space(self):
drive_path = self.path
freeuser = ctypes.c_int64()
total = ctypes.c_int64()
free = ctypes.c_int64()
perform_disk_operation(ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetDiskFreeSpaceExW,
unicode(drive_path),
ctypes.byref(freeuser),
ctypes.byref(total),
ctypes.byref(free)) # FYI, returns 0 if unsuccessful...which
could be
# stored in a variable like so:
is_successful = perform_disk_operation(
return total.value, freeuser.value
I don't know enough about Python to know if self needs to be an argument in the
function or not {i.e., perform_disk_operation(self, disk_operation, *args):
???}, but I am envisioning a static method (does Python have those?) accessible
from anywhere...perhaps in the Drive classDrive.perform_disk_operation().
If Python doesn't support static methods, then a Disk_Manager or
WubiUtilities object class could be created and instantiated and it
could be used mainly for these sorts of things.
utilities = WubiUtilities
utilities.perform_disk_operation(xxx, yyy, zzz, ddd)
-
Alternately (and I don't know how recommended this would be),
SetErrorMode(1) could be called at the very beginning of the wubi
execution and SetErrorMode(0) when wubi terminates. That would put the
error mode in a non-default state while wubi is executing, and I don't
know if that could cause potential problems in other windows processes
or not (seems doubtful, though). It should be really easy to implement
though and should prevent the pop-up the whole time (unless other
windows processes are able to turn it on, which is a possibility). I
would prefer to turn it off only when I am doing something that could
trigger it and turn it right back on when I am done, but I thought I'd
throw out the possibility anyways even though I don't favor it.

[Bug 365881] Re: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk
Hey Ray, Excellent catch...that best practice thing. I glanced at the article when I first discovered SetErrorMode() and totally missed that important info. Not only that, but I get the idea that it is setting the error mode only for that application...in deed, maybe even only for the particular thread it's called in. So, I think it can be turned off at start up and then there is no reason to even set it back to default before termination. I opened up two command prompts and ran get_space() on one without calling SetErrorMode() at all and another that called only SetErrorMode(1) ... and never SetErrorMode(0). The command prompt window that didn't call it got the pop-up every time I ran it. The other did notno matter that I ran the one that turned off the pop-up first...so it should have zero impact on other apps or processes. That makes the answer clear to me...call ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetErrorMode(1) at start up and forget about it...unless there are other threads that could raise the error (I think I did see code that indicated wubi had more than one thread), then they all would need to call it as well before they were started. -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I looked at your patch, but just to let you know -- for me, at least -- get_filesystem() also causes the error for me GetVolumeInformationA method is the culprit in that one). I have recommended that he use ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetErrorMode(1) at the beginning of the Drive class's __init__() to suppress the pop-up and ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetErrorMode(0) at the end to return windows back to the default state (regarding this pop-up, at least)... ** Attachment added: Use SetErrorMode() to suppress no disk error http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51351801/nodiskerrorpatch.py -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 365881] Re: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk
@BB, i also made several wrong guesses about what was causing the issue...i also installed blank CDs in my drives (lol)...then finally someone else pointed out the issue with card readers. @others, it appears that the wubi script is scanning all drives on the PC (windows treats card reader slots as drives on my machine) and is not able to deal elegantly with the card reader slots -- if they are empty. i have 4 card reader slots and i have to click continue 12 times total (8 times at the beginning of the installation and 4 times somerewhere in the middle)...so that is 3 times per card reader slot. (all my card reader slots have normal ascii character names like drive M:). WORKAROUNDS... one can successfully install ubuntu by merely clicking thru the error messages 12 or so times OR by ejecting the card-reader (eject by right-clicking the card-reader's icon in the systray, then clicking on safely remove hardware, then clicking on stop) SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BUG (PROGRAMMING-WISE)... i am not knowledgeable of python (i dabble in C#), but i did scan the python code and it seems to have some code that tries to check the letters A-Z to see if any of those letters are valid drives. I think that could be the source of the first 4 errors. Then i think i saw some code that scans all drives for an available ubuntu image...so that's probably where the second set of 4 errors originates...i don't know about the last 4 times, though...i didn't look too far into the script. however, the wubi script itself may not be so much to blame as the underlying python libraries (i googled and googled and it seems hard to find documentation on python methods that allow access to system drive information on a windows machine)...but perhaps python provides a way to catch the error...kinda like a try-catch block in C#??? (again, i am not familiar with python...so i may be way off base). Could the errors somehow originate from the instantiation and/or use of the Drive class objects??? (just some thoughts) unfortunately... if one is not aware of the card reader issue, after clicking continue on the error message 3 or 4 times, one naturally feels the computer is in some kind of infinite loop. this could potentially cause first-time users to think the ubuntu installation program is defective (that's what i thought at first) or has some compatibility issue with their PC...when, in fact, they simply have empty card reader slots. -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

oddly, today, the trash behavior is different. now, when i move an item to the trash, the trash icon continues to display empty. if i hover the mouse over the trash icon, the tooltip says no items in trash or similar. if i open the trash, it has items in it and NOW, my empty trash button is enabled. i rebooted again and the behavior persists (i.e., it doesn't work correctly and it also doesn't display the exact behavior it did yesterday either). (the empty trash menu option one gets in the context menu after right- clicking on the trash icon is always enabled...just as before). -- confusion emptying trash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365309 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 365881] [NEW] wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk
Public bug reported: The issue i'm having is with the initial installation. I run Windows XP Home Edition on an HP Pavilion a656x with an added video card and an added stick of memory. It has two optical drives, drive E (a DVD/CD drive) and drive F (a CD drive). Here is what happens... 1. I boot into Windows XP 2. I insert the Ubuntu 9.04 CD into drive E 3. I get a pop-up message window (from pyrun.exe) telling me that there is no disk in drive F 4. My options are Cancel, Try Again, and Continue and the X to close the little window 5. no matter what i click, the error message just pops back up. if I put the CD in the Drive F, then everything happens exactly the same except that in step 3, the message informs me there is no disk in drive E. So, whichever of my two drives i insert the CD into, the installer complains that i don't have a disk in the OTHER drive. In Ubuntu 8.10 (which I no longer have installed on my system), after I inserted the CD, I would simply get a pop-up that presented 3 installation options (and I want to choose the 2nd one: install inside windows)sometimes, if i keep clicking the various buttons randomly like 50 times (Cancel, Try Again, Continue, and the little close X)...I will eventually get the installation options. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Correction: in the above description, where i said: In Ubuntu 8.10 (which I no longer have installed on my system), after I inserted the CD... it should read: With the Ubuntu 8.10 CD, after I inserted the CD... -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 365881] Re: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk
forgive the mistake again...i am still not writing that last paragraph clearly. The entire last paragraph of my original bug report should read as below: With the Ubuntu 8.10 CD, after I insert the CD, I correctly get a pop-up that presents 3 installation options (and I want to choose the 2nd one: install inside windows). With the 9.04 CD, however, i get this error message box and, sometimes, if i keep clicking the various buttons on the error message window randomly like 50 times (Cancel, Try Again, Continue, and the little close X)...I MIGHT eventually get the installation options. But sometimes I cannot get to the installation options at all (in which case, i must actually restart windows to get rid of the pop-up error message). -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 365881] Re: wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk
update... 1. i restarted windows and then inserted the 9.04 CD. 2. the message is now Exception Processing Message c013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c 3. clicking cancel or the X on the error message 8 times gets me to the installation options dialog. i restarted windows again with same results. i decided to go ahead with the installation at this point, so i clicked install inside windows the installation went okay except at certain points the error message Exception Processing Message c013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c would pop up and i would have to click cancel 4 times (not 8 as at the beginning) in order to get the installation to continue. once installed, ubuntu 9.04 is working okay for me so far (i am writing this comment from it). -- wubi installer's pyrun.exe says no disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
